Schumer: Veterans Must Face Budget Cuts, Too
"They're going to have to pay a tiny, little bit into it, which they never have," he added. But Schumer maintained members of Congress should not be forced to take a pay cut. He said they have already sacrificed, since they have not seen a pay raise "in a long time," and explained most of them are paying more for healthcare insurance. "We (members of Congress) have taken pretty big cuts," he said.
The Retired Military Officers Association estimates the average military retiree will lose 20% of the value of their hard earned pension...something Chuck Schumer says is "just a little bit."
But, we are not cutting the hundreds of Billions that ObamaCare subsidies that we are just now learning are a ticking time bomb. We are not cutting the 75+ welfare programs that give money away with both fists.
We truly live in evil days.
